HP SmartStream Designer, Prepress Software manual Filter pages, Extract pages, Remove pages

Extract pages

You can extract pages from a job and store them elsewhere, to be printed later on another printer. This may be useful for small-format or monochrome pages.

First select the pages that you want to extract, then right-click the selection and click Extract. Then choose a folder in which the extracted pages will be stored.

NOTE: You can extract pages from PDF files only if extraction is not password-protected.

How can I extract small-format pages?

Use a filter to remove large-format pages from the job preparation grid, and extract the whole job.

Alternatively, sort the pages by page size, select the smallest pages manually, and extract those pages.

How can I separate color and black-and-white pages?

Again, you can filter or sort the page.

Remove pages

To remove one or more pages permanently from a job, select the pages, then right-click the selection and select Remove.

NOTE: The pages are removed from the job only: they are not removed from the original document.

Filter pages

You can hide a particular category of document or page by clicking one of the icons in the column headers, unchecking one or more of the boxes in the menu, and pressing the Apply button. All unchecked categories are then hidden and do not appear on the screen. Thus, you can hide items of a particular page size, paper type, print quality, and so on.

NOTE: Only categories that are actually present in the job are shown in the filter menu.
